Bags are packed and I'm ready to go. Not looking forward to the plane ride (hate flying), but am willing to concede that to play poker for 3 days straight. Can't believe it is tomorrow!

My plan is to try and sleep in for as long as possible tomorrow to account for the time difference as I figure we will be playing late into the evening.

Pali, I packed both the mixed game place card sets from Pfap in my bag to bring down just in case we need them for newer people to mixed games.

Schem, got your chip in my pocket.

Breich, I'm leaving the house at 1 and should be to your place about 1:30. Very excited that I'm being driven to the airport by your mom....Makes me feel about 10 years younger.

Others, can't wait to meet you in person soon and I hope you don't mind me taking your monies....

  • Garage:
    • The craps table is up with $100 worth of nickel/quarter/dollar chips on it.
    • The brown table (my original build) is up, next two the air conditioner and the swamp colloer.
    • I'll cool the garage in advance of Friday, but we should be good in the main room until Thursday.
  • Main Room:
    • RFID table is awaiting a new power strip, but otherwise good to go.
    • Cables and cameras need taped down.
    • The green table is housing all of the chips which need bagged.
  • Patio:
    • The table I bought at auction from a busted poker room in town is there.
    • Fresh mister nozzles have been installed.
  • Other:
    • I'm picking up overflow tables and chars from my poker league tonight, on the off-chance that we need them.
    • General cleaning continues. Trash went out Monday, but it needs to go again
Assorted RSVPs keep coming in from various fronts. I expect Thursday will be a table and a half of lower limit players drinking beer and bull****ting, as planned. Friday should meet the goal of multiple tables of cash players - with enough, most assuredly, for the $1 NL/PLO table and the 3/6 mixed-limit to go off without a hitch. Saturday's tournament will at least be a couple of tables, but I'm preparing chips for 4, with enough chips in other sets for more if the unexpected happens.

Tomorrow will be my first day on the job for ~4 hours early in the day, and then I'll pick up a keg and hotel keys. I'll start my new job in earnest on Monday, should all continue to go well.
Crazy getting everything ready isn't it? I know exactly how you feel....Wonder why! Keep on trucking and thank you in advance! Be good to see you tomorrow and congrats on the job if I haven't already said so!

Sober won't be a requirement.

I'm suprised it won't be starting until dinnertime Friday, I was hoping for earlier, as I thought several people were taking off work. Or are you planning to play too late Thursday? Any chance enough people will be in for a mixed game Thursday night?

Define late.


Also, the schedule my wife posted (because she likes posting schedules) says VIP players start Friday at 3pm. I just can't count on full tables until "normal" people get off work.


That said, the beer is here, and I need to unload it.

Maybe the main schedule at the beginning of the thread could use an update. It shows Friday starting at noon. I have to do something else in the area on the way during business hours (before 5) so am wondering what time I should go.

There will be, at least, players sitting, staring at each other on Friday day.

Schmendr1ck is on a plane on his way to Sky Harbor; I'll make him logon and update stuff to his liking when he shows up.

So are you PMing out the address to people who are interested? Or is it held at that clubhouse linked in the OP?

Don't forget to post the day and time when the RFID table will be online. I really look forward to railing that.

That link is in the right area, but I don't think it had an exact address. I got the address by PM. Can give it to you later if you still need it (can't do PMs on my phone).

I don't really understand what this RFID thing is. Can someone explain or send a link? Did I miss a detailed explanation somewhere?

I just found the old thread about building it, but it is very long and no post for the last year. I guess I will just find out about it when I am there.

It's a good read.

Cliffs: Palimax builds a table that will show hole cards, community cards, and players around the table to broadcast his home games(and heads up battle with the Mrs)

this is really live now? what are you playing?

neat, but the cards in top left aren't changing, and the constant back and forth of 2 cameras makes me dizzy.
